Reducing Opioid Overprescribing through Procedure-specific Prescribing Guidelines.
Authors
Abstract
Despite advances in opioid-sparing pain management, postdischarge opioid overprescribing in plastic surgery remains an issue. Procedure-specific prescribing protocols have been implemented successfully in other surgical specialties but not broadly in plastic surgery. This study examined the efficacy of procedure-specific prescribing guidelines for reducing postdischarge opioid overprescribing.
